Synopsis

This volume considers the second report of the FRAME Toxicity Committee presenting reviews and discussions by invited authors and general discussions. It covers developments in toxicology and the use of non-animal methods in toxicity testing since the first report published in 1983. This book highlights the need for rationalization and harmonization of regulatory guidelines for more critical attitudes towards accepted animal tests, for more attention to be foused on non-animal alternatives, for more information to be made available to inform scientists of alternatives to animals and for the development and integration of non-animal alternatives. This book is aimed at assisting the reader in the development, validation and use of non-animal methods and is aimed at toxicologists, pharmacologists and policy-makers in academia, industry and government.
